Sokolova
The name Sokolova (feminine) needs its own separate page. Just because something is similar does not mean that it is the equivalent of something.... Stevenmitchell (talk) 19:40, 17 December 2014 (UTC)
 * But it's not just similar (although even then it would still be OK to combine similar spellings on one disambiguation page; see WP:DPAGE), it's exactly the same. Case in point: if a Russian man's last name is "Sokolov", his wife/sister/mother's last name will be "Sokolova", no exceptions. With that in mind, we always combine masculine and feminine versions of the same last name on one page. There are occasional exceptions (for example, when a woman migrates to a country where last names are not distinguished by gender, she might very well end up with a masculine form of her last name; or when the feminine version has meanings unrelated to the last name or the masculine form of the word, a separate disambiguation page might be warranted), but they are not very common.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); December 17, 2014 ; 20:10 (UTC)
